Seems to me that the question should be, "Why would anyone want a USB 
modem that is dependent on kernel drivers when he can can buy a great 
'works with anything including dumb terminals' modem like a Courier 
External for $25?"  Right here: http://snipurl.com/1qpzg

But yes, I realize that there are el-Cheapo laptops available that don't 
even have an RS-232 port.
